MANCHESTER, England, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- One Port St., a major new luxury residential development in Manchester's Northern Quarter, is now open and welcoming residents to the highly anticipated £195 million building. The landmark scheme represents a significant milestone for the area, introducing a new standard of premium living to the Northern Quarter.

Located on Port Street, the gateway to the Northern Quarter, the 32 storey building is a UK first for Select Property as their flagship, most premium offering yet, bringing with it a 5 star boutique hotel feel and the highest specification, most considered luxury apartment experience in Manchester.

One Port St.'s location places residents right in the centre of Manchester's most creative district bringing a brand new community of people ready to make the Northern Quarter their home, with independent restaurants, music venues and cultural destinations all on their doorstep. Residents of the 477 open-plan apartments have access to a 2,000 sq ft swimming pool and spa pool (the first in the Northern Quarter) with integrated changing rooms, alongside a beautifully designed landscaped urban garden set within 22,000 sq ft of new public realm.

The unrivalled amenities at One Port St. also include a stunning arrival experience centred around a 360-degree firepit, all designed to encapsulate the relaxed, yet social experience of a private residents lounge. This large and airy space with floor to ceiling windows includes thoughtfully designed co-working areas as well as cosy places to relax and hang out including the hidden 'Hideout' room accessed via a concealed door – a speakeasy style room for residents to retreat and relax.

The spacious and state-of-the-art gym which overlooks the new public realm and is fitted with top-of-the-range Matrix equipment, delivering a best-in-class fitness experience that rivals any private members gym and is included in the rent for residents. There's also a yoga studio and barre studios all creating an exceptional wellbeing experience for residents.

On the seventh floor, Paganini's resident lounge and roof terrace, named after a historic tavern that once stood on Port St, provides panoramic city and beyond views, private hire opportunities and an incredible place to hang out all year round. The stunning seventh floor space also features an exclusive dining room which can be booked by residents for special occasions.

Launching alongside the opening of the building is the One Port St. Collective, a  residents programme designed to connect people with the best of Manchester. Through a dedicated resident app, members gain exclusive access to One Port St. partners and  curated discounts, acting as a "key to the city" for residents. The Collective reinforces One Port St.'s ambition to offer more than just a place to live, responding to a growing demand for high-quality rental homes in Manchester where residents increasingly prioritise demand, service and long-term liveability.

The apartment's beautiful open plan layouts and highest specification fixtures and fittings have all been expertly styled by Select Property's in-house design team, enhanced in the public spaces with specially curated art work by selected independent artists. Taking inspiration from the local area, the interiors showcase rustic values merged with design, via raw metals, sustainable products and ceramic tiles. Wood finishes make use of rich tones contrasted with light oak and ambient lighting, all creating a warm, luxurious boutique 5 star hotel atmosphere for residents.

Adam Price, CEO, at Select Property, comments: "One Port St. is a major landmark for the city of Manchester, representing everything we believe modern residential living should be: design-led, community-minded and deeply connected to its surroundings and local heritage. One Port St. is about redefining what modern rental living can be. It's not just about beautiful apartments – it's about how people live, connect and experience the city around them. Positioned at the gateway to the Northern Quarter, this is a place shaped by its surroundings and designed for modern city life. The Northern Quarter has long been the heart of Manchester's creativity and culture, and One Port St. celebrates that identity and brings something totally new to the area. With apartments now open and available to rent, and residents moving in, this is a big milestone for us and a proud moment for our entire team."

Ian Simpson, Co-founding Partner, SimpsonHaugh added: "One Port St. presented an opportunity to elevate residential provision in one of Manchester's most characterful districts, creating a design that mediates between the Northern Quarter and the wider city. Our ambition was to create a building that respects and responds to the Northern Quarter's rich industrial heritage. The result is an elegant landmark development that combines considered design, outstanding amenities, and enhanced public realm to form a welcoming and connected place to live, visit and enjoy. We're proud to see the building now open and becoming part of the evolving story of this iconic neighbourhood."

One Port St. Opens in Manchester's Creative Northern Quarter

One Port St. Opens in Manchester's Creative Northern Quarter

KOTA KINABALU, Malaysia, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 3rd International Business Events Forum – BE in SABAH 2026 concluded today, marking the end of two days of structured engagement that brought together policymakers, industry leaders and practitioners to examine how Business Events can support regional cooperation, industry capability and economic connectivity across Asia Pacific.

Hosted at the Sabah International Convention Centre, the forum recorded strong participation from both domestic and international stakeholders, underscoring growing interest in regional platforms that emphasise practical dialogue, professional standards and long-term collaboration.

The official closing ceremony was officiated by Yang Berhormat Dr Andi MD Shamzureezal, Assistant Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Sabah, representing Yang Berhormat Datuk Jafry Bin Ariffin, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Sabah and Patron of BE in SABAH 2026.

In his closing remarks, Dr Andi noted that the discussions over the past two days highlighted the increasingly strategic role of Business Events in facilitating regional engagement, supporting industry professionalism and connecting markets through structured, outcome-driven platforms. He emphasised that continued collaboration across borders and sectors would be essential in strengthening resilience and competitiveness within the Asia Pacific Business Events ecosystem.

Rather than centring on destination promotion, BE in SABAH 2026 was deliberately structured around issues affecting the industry at a regional and global level. Sessions addressed areas such as market confidence, governance, technology adoption, talent development and cross-border collaboration, reflecting the evolving expectations placed on Business Events as economic and professional infrastructure.

The forum also facilitated knowledge exchange and partnership-building among participants from government agencies, international associations, convention bureaux, consulting firms and private sector organisations, reinforcing its role as a working platform that extends beyond dialogue.

According to the Organising Chairperson, the value of BE in SABAH lies in continuity and relevance.

"Each edition is designed to build on the last," she said. "The outcomes of this forum are measured not only by attendance, but by the quality of engagement, the relationships strengthened and the capability that continues to grow across the regional ecosystem."

A key outcome of BE in SABAH 2026 is the strengthening of international collaboration, marked by the Memorandum of Understanding between the Goyang Convention & Visitors Bureau, Goyang International Expo and the Sabah International Convention Centre during the closing ceremony. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to collaboration beyond events, encompassing knowledge exchange, industry development and capacity-building, and builds on engagements initiated during Goyang Destination Week. Led by Dr Peter Lee, the participation of eight junior management representatives from Goyang at BE in SABAH 2026 further underscores a mutual focus on developing future industry leaders and strengthening professional capability through structured exposure and exchange. The collaboration signals ongoing efforts to deepen ties not only with South Korea, but also with other international destinations as part of a broader strategy to build a more connected, capable and resilient Business Events ecosystem.

As BE in SABAH 2026 concludes, the forum reinforces its place as an annual Asia Pacific platform supporting sustained engagement, professional development and shared industry progress. The next edition will continue to build on this momentum, reflecting lessons learned and emerging priorities within the global Business Events landscape.
